We woke up this morning to sleet that quickly turned into snow. It has been snowing all day with temperatures hovering around 33 degrees. The forecast calls for one to three inches of snow for our area of Colorado. We do need the moisture.

Looking down into our front yard from the deck.

No takers, as yet, on the peanuts. — No takers, as yet, on the bird feeder filled with peanuts. However the Scrubs will be along.

SBS: Sheila’s Bird Shots: ~Broad-tailed Hummingbird and Eurasian Collared-Dove~

The hummingbirds love to sit on one of our Amateur Ham Radio antennas. During the summer, I have captured a few of them sitting on this wire.

Today, I walked outside and she was sitting, pretty as you please, in a Juniper tree, no more than ten feet away. She did not seem to be in a hurry to fly away. Did I have my camera – no! I know she was telling me: “Ha, no camera, I think I will just sit here.”

I could have gotten a photo without the wire, maybe!

Another frequent visitor to my yard, this summer, has been the Eurasian Collared-Dove. I was enjoying a little sun, out on the deck, and I happened to look into the Apple tree and this Dove was asking me to take its picture. It then fly over to the Pine tree and posed again for me.
